And no, I have not yet laid out the kalam cosmological argument, if that's what you mean. But I can do that, if you want me to.

That is not an argument against it. And of course, you choose to mock the non-evidential argument, wholly ignoring the argument from potentiality and actuality.

Second, tell me how logic can be tested without first presuming logic. For instance, in the case of the law of contradiction, how do you conclude that a contradiction of the law of contradiction has been made on grounds of experience, without first assuming the very fact of the law of contradiction, namely the fact of contradiction?
